Contact precautions are used when a known or suspected contagious disease may be present and is transmitted through direct contact with the patient or indirect contact with items in the patient's environment. Airborne precautions are used when known or suspected contagious diseases can be transmitted by means of small droplets or particles that can remain suspended in the air for prolonged periods. Droplet precautions are used when known or suspected contagious diseases can be transmitted through large droplets suspended in the air. Protective isolation is used for patients who have compromised immune systems.
